The Bad Ideas Squad is joined once again by Jackson Bird, Youtube creator, writer, speaker, and Millennial Swiss army knife human being! Together, we tackle another bad idea and have a quick Creative Corner Chat. 

First, Sarah brings us the story of the most haunted house in Ireland, and how tough it can be to sell such a place. The gang spins it into a yarn about a weary realtor having to keep the peace between his living and dead tenants. Then, we talk for a little bit about Jackson's work, the balancing act of how much of yourself you share with the people who consume your work, and the coolest first job out of college ever.

All of that, plus: cloven hooves, weird glitzy stories, very picky ghosts, bleeding paintings, and loud throat-clearing. 

Today’s Bad Ideas™:

Idea #1

The No Bad Ideas Podcast is the creation of Gabriel Urbina, Sarah Shachat, and Zach Valenti, three writer and artist-types who, in order to stay fresh creatively, have an excuse to hang out with each other once a week, and check in on what they're working on, take a terrible idea they found on the Internet each week and turn it into a compelling narrative. Or as close as they can get in 30 minutes.

If you're someone trying to be creative yourself or even if you just appreciate a good story, you'll enjoy listening to Zach, Sarah, and Gabriel figure out how to make sense of the best (or worst?) absurdities the internet has to offer. We guarantee there have definitely been worse ideas.
